BogMonster Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 Coming back from lunch today, stopped at a junction, went to move off then had to stop suddenly again, an instant later the Discovery jumped a little followed by a horrible plasticky splintering noise.... A Shogun Sport had run into the back of me, so we pulled over to investigate damage. Absolutely NO damage to the Discovery at all - not a scratch but a NATO-plus-bracket-sized hole in the plastic front bumper of the Shogun Knew there was a reason I made the hook stick out as far as it does ... all I need now is a label to go on the back bumper with an arrow pointing to the hook saying "Crumple zone: please queue here" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Les Henson Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 No piccy!! That's a shame. Things like that make the day so much happier. I had a guy in a diesel cavalier hit Sue's ltwt and it wrote his car off! Les. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BogMonster Posted January 30, 2006 Author Share Posted January 30, 2006 No, didn't have a camera with me! But if you can visualise the plastic bumper just about touching mine and the NATO having disappeared: It wasn't that impressive to look at but probably still into three figures £££ - it's a big bit of plastic and Japanese prices are a bit steep Dad ordered a new front grille for his L200 after he put a goose through it and I think it was a couple of hundred!

geoffbeaumont Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 ... all I need now is a label to go on the back bumper with an arrow pointing to the hook saying "Crumple zone: please queue here" VeryDisco's got one on her bumper - "I know your BMW is faster but I'm still in front of you" or something like that - to go with the patch of shiny silver paint on her NATO hitch that was all the damage a few months back from some dosy bint in a beemer hitting her hard enough to give her whiplash. But of course you know that - I recall you beating me to the title change Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
